  • From all of us at Scout Motors, welcome to the Scout Community! We created this community to provide Scout vehicle owners, enthusiasts, and curiosity seekers with a place to engage in discussion, suggestions, stories, and connections. Supportive communities are sometimes hard to find, but we're determined to turn this into one.

    Additionally, Scout Motors wants to hear your feedback and speak directly to the rabid community of owners as unique as America. We'll use the Scout Community to deliver news and information on events and launch updates directly to the group. Although the start of production is anticipated in 2026, many new developments and milestones will occur in the interim. We plan to share them with you on this site and look for your feedback and suggestions.

    How will the Scout Community be run? Think of it this way: this place is your favorite local hangout. We want you to enjoy the atmosphere, talk to people who share similar interests, request and receive advice, and generally have an enjoyable time. The Scout Community should be a highlight of your day. We want you to tell stories, share photos, spread your knowledge, and tell us how Scout can deliver great products and experiences. Along the way, Scout Motors will share our journey to production with you.

    Scout is all about respect. We respect our heritage. We respect the land and outdoors. We respect each other. Every person should feel safe, included, and welcomed in the Scout Community. Being kind and courteous to the other forum members is non-negotiable. Friendly debates are welcomed and often produce great outcomes, but we don't want things to get too rowdy. Please take a moment to consider what you post, especially if you think it may insult others. We'll do our best to encourage friendly discourse and to keep the discussions flowing.

    So, welcome to the Scout Community! We encourage you to check back regularly as we plan to engage our members, share teasers, and participate in discussions. The world needs Scouts™. Let's get going.


    We are Scout Motors.

    Our goal is to create the largest Scout Registry in the world. If you own a Scout vehicle, regardless of year or condition, we would love to see it.

You can add a Title (your user name, model year, etc.), Brief Description (color name, model year, model) and a "Tell Us More About Your Scout:" where you can enter in your backstory, details about your Scout, modifications, restoration history, fun ownership stories and photos of your vehicle. You can also come back and modify or add to your registry entry at any time.

    Also, please upload photos if you have them. You can also embed the photos into your story that you create so that people can see larger versions.

    We look forward to seeing and hearing more about your Scout!

Tell us about your Scout:

Here's my 1977 IH Super Scout "Brush Buster".
I was looking on a search engine for Craigslist 6 years ago. Wasn't anticipating buying a scout then this one happen to be on there. Nobody had called the gentleman as he mis-spelled International!
It was nowhere near as nice as it is now though. I went sight unseen it felt sketchy but still right and after some negotiations with the seller it was on it's way home from Missouri to Massachusetts. Overall the body was excellent shape no rust originally a Texas truck. But mechanically it was neglected, within the first year I had replaced Carb., swapped in a DUI distributor, clutch went out on way home one night, the cam lobe on cyl #2 was wiped out. So complete upper end motor rebuild. And the list keeps going, a scout is never "really" finished is it...😁
The Scout has the original 304, 4spd, (yes it's a real SS I have the LST...) it has a 8274 warn winch with a December 1977 build date. The truck was built May 23, 1977, so we think the winch was a dealer add on, since it was not on the LST.
I've made several upgrades it has a 3 inch suspension lift, 1 inch body lift, & 33 inch tires, I replaced the steering box with a Red Head, added a steer straight brace, repaired frame cracks, and added the steering box base plate, I brought the caster forward 4 degrees, and added Tom Woods Super Flex Ujoints for the front axle. I can now drive it with one finger..😁
I can now see the road at night with the bright lite relays, and some Hella conversion lights, with Led Morimoto bulbs...👍 the dash even got a led bulb swap so I could see the gas guage at night...😋
It has a nice little rumble, with the stainless eliminator mufflers, got a pair of reprduction dash vent covers, I have a full soft top and doors for it, just never enough time in a day. Plus who needs a top? It does stink when I get rained on though, and yeah I've been rained on many times, this rig is a driver.
Overall the rig is a great running, rides great, and it a lot of fun, definitely not a truck to ride around in if you don't want to be noticed. 😎🍻
